Hello and welcome to VHS Wasteland! VHS WASTELAND is your home for high resolution scans of rare, strange, and forgotten vhs covers. Each of these bizarre gems is scanned at 200 dpi. Our staff of over 40 contributors (and more added all the time) scans and posts between 15-30 new covers every day along with reviews, trailers and much more! So bookmark our homepage and check the site often! Simply click on the thumbnail of any vhs cover to download the full high res format. We'd also love submissions from you. If you have a vhs that is weird or rare, you can find info on what we are looking for here.
FREE PUPPIES: Want to help us out? An easy way to do so without any real effort on your part at all is to make this page your home page. It would give us more hits and help bring in a few precious pennies in ad space. Come on, do it now. Why are you not doing it? What, do you hate us or something? Do it and we'll be your best friend... And we'll give you a puppy. Legal disclaimer: the staff of vhs wasteland has no intentions of giving you a puppy. Are you not doing it because you don't know how? Here's a link that explains how to do it. There now you have no excuse. Do it now. Oh, and also be sure to check out our new online store and get yourself some great vhs wasteland merchandise. Come on... We'll give you a puppy. Dang it, why haven't you made this your homepage yet? You used to be cool man.
Also, why not visit our parent sites (madhatterdesign.net and serialkillercalendar.com). They have nothing to do with vhs covers but i think you might be pleasantly surprised by what you find. Or not. I don't know you. Maybe your not surprised by anything. Maybe your the kind of guy that sees a cow fall out of the sky and explode like a piñata and your all like "huh, that was weird." man. What's wrong with you anyway? Jeez. Some people.
OUR WISH LIST: Our wish list: we are always looking for new movie reviewers and vhs contributors to join our vhs wasteland team. If you have something strange or rare you, we would love to include it on the site. You would, of course, get full credit for your contribution and be added to our ever growing staff page. Some of the titles we are looking for right now include (but are in no way limited to) "dancing grannies" "bambi meets godzilla" and any kind of insane religious vhs. You can click here for instructions on how to scan and submit these covers or, if you are the coolest person ever and want us to promote the crap out of you (or your website) you can mail us the actual vhs tape to add to our collection. Either way, contact us for more info!
Thank you to wildeyereleasing.com for sending us a big box of vhs tapes! As an extra thank you to them, we will be putting their banner at the top of the site for the rest of the month. Any person or company that mails us a box of VHS tapes, will have their banner moved to the top of our links page and get their banner put on the top of the homepage for several weeks. Plus MORE!

JANUARY 17 VHS HISTORY LEASON : RIP BLOCKBUSTER
THE DAY OF THE VIDEO RENTAL STORE IS DEAD
Think about this. The video stores are dead. Blockbuster is going to die, it's just a matter of when. How does this relate to horror your asking? Well as a kid growing up in the 80's the video store is where horror was born. You lived and died by box art and local video stores recommending titles to you. It was the glory days for non commercial horror.
Those days have been long ago memories but it's taking the recent Blockbuster news for it to really sink it. Something that will die and never be brought back. 50 years from now it will be something not even thought about. Like TV shows that have no re-runs kids and adults will forget about how things were. Not completely of course but it will be in the same category as old records or the once popular horse and buggy.
According to a report by 24/7 Wall St, ten companies are likely to no longer be around in 2011. Some brands on the list include RadioShack, Kia, T-Mobile and Blockbuster.
Blockbuster was the national leader in the video rental business for nearly two decades. But after losing another $65 million last quarter, the company is now considering bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Redbox and Netflix continue to perform well.
No one knows officially what will happen to the once mighty Blockbuster. A company that came in and mutilated the small locally owned mom and pop "movie houses" of the day. At one time in our town alone we had 6 video rental stores, 6! You'll never see that again. Gone are the days of spending 3 hours looking for perfect film art to jump out at you, that's all done online now.
Blockbuster has tried to "Red Box' things up but it isn't having near the success nor is its small online home delivery setup that they borrowed from Netflix. A case of too little to late we think. Someone beat them to the punch much like the small business owner did in the early days. Only this time the mighty company is failing because of bad business decisions and poor movie selections. The proverbially case of a "dose of their own medicine" so to speak. A whole country of past mom and pop video store owners with just a hint of a smile on their face no doubt.
Good or bad I am going to miss the smell of walking into those stores. I'm going to miss the different sections to browse, the rare titles that one store may have and another may not. Of course we all knew this day was coming but now that's its on the horizon it certainly makes one long for a "please be kind, rewind" sticker on a giant VHS clam shell case. Here is somebody looking at the past, knowing the future is brighter but missing the one on one experience with that mom and pop owner that many generations after us will never get the privilege to witness. { text from horrorbid.com }
